‘Community’ Season 5 Adds ‘Office’ Alum B.J. Novak in Mysterious Season Finale Role

You might have heard that 'Community' season 5 will take a minor break for the next few weeks to accommodate those increasingly hilarious Sochi Olympics, but the cult NBC comedy has big plans for its return. 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' villain and 'Office' vet B.J. Novak will join the Greendale Gang for the final installments of the season, but what does his mysterious role reveal about the two-part finale?

There isn't much available on Novak's character, according to Entertainment Weekly, though we at least know Novak will turn up in the first half of the two-part finale as “a TV star in a sexy new series." Might it be the new "Inspector Spacetime" series season 4 attempted to get off the ground, gas leak year or no? And will we know by Novak's April appearance if 'Community' will return for a sixth, and presumably final season?

NBC's Thursday night headaches have us optimistic for a season 6 renewal, but what do you think? Is Novak's turn a good sign NBC wants to continue drawing attention to the series? Watch the latest 'Community' season 5 highlights below, and give us your thoughts in the comments!
